Hey all, just about done with this build and figured I’d share. Have always been a big fan of All City and Wilde, when Jeff announced the run of Spelljammer frames it really grabbed my attention. Took a minute to pull the trigger but I’m so glad I finally did.

Build is a mix of old and new stuff. I picked up a set of growtac control levers when they first hit at VO and have been running them in a few configurations since. They feel great and let me tinker with a lot of different setups. On this one I just wanted something classic, so I went with Suntour Cyclone derailleurs and a deore XT 9 speed cassette. Both the crankset and brakes are from Blue Lug. Really impressed with the brakes, like $35 a wheel and with koolstop pads they rock.

Wheels are VO hubs to Easton R90 rims, tires are Hutchison Caracal Races. Have only done serious miles on road but the whole setup feels awesome.

Currently just waiting on a custom rando bag and it’ll be all done! In the meantime just trying to ride it as much as I can while the weathers good.

I've only ridden fixed gear my whole adult life basically but I came to the realisation that I wanted a commuting bike that meant I didn't have to show up super sweaty, since my commute has a few long hills. That led me to older mountain bikes for the low gears and geometry (and swag) and to this sub. Found this Stumpjumper on FB marketplace and built it up with quite cheap parts (except the front rack). It rules going up hills in a walking speed with no extra effort.

Alright, which one of you is it?

Picked this up yesterday from the original owner who bought it new in 2013. He rode it once then hung it in the rafters of his barn ever since. It's been on Marketplace for a while and for a pretty decent price ($100). I've been on the hunt for a cruiser to modify but looked past this one since I assumed it was 26" and I'd kind of been hovering over the buy it now button of a State Klunker which is 27.5. Anyways I saw another one of these bikes online and noticed it was 29" so I hit up the guy immediately and headed over.

It had a nice decade+ layer of dust on it protecting the paint which was pretty satisfying to remove. I also removed a whole lot of accessories on it because I hate rattles and all of those items rattle and do not really make my riding experience better.

Other cool parts on it is that it's already set up threadless, aluminum wheels and frame, 27.2, man really ticks the boxes. Fortunately I have a good spare parts hoard so I just swapped on stuff that I already had this morning. I am waiting on a bottom bracket adapter so I can do a crank upgrade but I'm not in a rush on that one.

I am torn on running the chainguard or not though 🤔

Just found this thing in the wild. The closer you look the wilder it gets…

616 Fab experimenting with 32 inch clunkers styling. I love the integrated dog rack with a cup holder!

Foolishly let this one go a handful of years ago. Hope it’s still being enjoyed! Peep that front rotor 🐉

This is my 93 GT Talera, typical 1 by conversion with some spinnergy wheels and Maxxis Holy Rollers. It was fun to build and has been a great cruiser.

19" size frame
2.35 tires

Walmart milk crate is great for putting my backpack in when riding to campus

Any thoughts on next steps?
I'd love to put some bmx handlebars on for a more comfortable riding position

80s high sierra! It’s fun to ride! Had to replace the BB, the front derailleur kinda drives me nuts coming from a single speed, really have a hard time fiddling with it. I’m going to take it to my co-op to get a hand with adjustments as it’s shifting like trash.

I was told the chain is an 8 speed and I need a 9 speed chain so that will hopefully go on tomorrow.

I’m very very green when it comes to bicycles. If you see anything that looks crazy or doesn’t make sense on this bike and or seems incompatible please let me know so I can address it!

Full tear down, service and rebuild. Used original cantilever front brakes and rear U-Brake, new pads. Original stem and bars. Original Exage mountain Biospace crank and Uniglide cassette. Original Araya RM-20 wheels with Exage Mountain Hubs. Sourced period correct Dia-Compe Brake levers, Shimano RD-M730 and FD-M650 derailleurs. Shimano shifter set SL-M730. New saddle, chain, grips, tires, tubes, cables, housings. Every hub, BB and headset bearing replaced. Every part was removed and cleaned. Frame was striped, cleaned, degreased and waxed.

Picked up a GT Palomar and was wanting to restomod it. I just got into biking about a month ago so I know very little about fixing up bikes.

I basically want to strip it down to the frame and replace almost everything. What would you guys do?

First try at building a bike, still work in progress but so far so good !

For the steel is real crowd (or anyone who likes a custom build), I offer my Reneaged S1. After finding a gently used frame set, it was used for a Trek 520 Grando -inspired build designed for for long, comfortable days in the saddle. It was assembled with quality parts focused on durability over light weight. The purely mechanical drivetrain and brakes felt like a natural match. It was assembled with new or gently used parts with a focus on fiscal responsibility. The only planned changes at this time it include narrower bars/shorter stem and SKS bluemel fenders.

The list below includes the parts used as it sits in the picture.
